CRUMBLING
Are we merely beings of earth: minerals and flesh and water? Are we merely beings of heaven; air and aether and mind?
Matthew Romantini joins with Barbara Bourget to create a work that lives in the great between of these two extremes, exploring the bound desire to fly, and the free desire to crash.

Original Production
"Romantini seems to pull something from his back, creating a miniature universe just beyond our very eyes. His closing steps are thoughtful, methodical and intimate: his eyes acknowledge mine, and I see him see me... With this work, there seems to be a hopeful future in this unique theatrical dance form: hopefully it won’t be the last solo Romantini offers to dance audiences."
